Will it handle pine straw?

there is a setting for pine straw on the unit, but I don't have many pine trees. As far as using only for straw I really not sure how it works. For leaves I love it

I do not have direct experience with pine straw, but from what I've experienced with the machine I would expect it to handle pine straw.

Fredna- It does have a setting for pine needles. Our experience is with mixed oak leaves and Jeffrey pine needles. So far no issues. I suspect that if all you are loading into it is pine needles, you might have to avoid just dumping a bunch in. Instead you'd probably have to make sure you don't clog it. Large handfuls at a time would probably work fine. It uses plastic grass trimmer line (I bought a reel and cut my own lengths) and the pine needles might go through the line faster than it does with mostly leaves. But it's not very difficult to put new line in. As I mentioned in my review, it's a little awkward to put together. However, I'm in my second season of using it and am happy with it. I hope this answers your question, Brock

Yes, it will handle the bottles perfectly. If you purchase from us Magic Mountain Water Products through Amazon.com we

It will not, primary use of the water straw is to filter untreated water sources.

I honestly don't think it will matter. It's a strong rubbery substance. It will definitely work better than a regular straw.

No, the straw would have to bend around a stopper mechanism that would render the straw ineffective, and it won't fit through the stopper opening.

It might since the straw is dry - just feed it a little at a time. It would do cornstalks (which are notorious!) as long as I did one, then alternated with woody material.

No. Get a Jerky Gun. I tried to use the Masterclass for cheese straws and it didn't work. I bought a Jerky Gun from Bass Pro Shops and it worked well.

I think they should work for any straw that is fairly straight. It is fairly flexible, so I have used it for sippy cup straws that have a curve at the top, and it manages fine.

I would say no, the holes are too small to let pine litter sift through. The holes are only about 5mm.

I am surrounded by pine trees that shed tons of straw. This vacuum works well for clean up.

I haven't tried it with that. But, pine needles are full of sap, so while I would expect the machine to pick them up, they will likely clog the internal parts. It certainly will blow those little guys, tho, so you could blow them into a pile and pick them up (with gloves, of course.)

not really.. the hole is too small for pine cones. PS, you have to make sure whatever you are sucking up is DRY, DRY, DRY, DRY... and small, small, small THEN IT WILL WORK OK...

Yes it will. The only problem is the straw doesn't go all the way to the bottom. So it will leave about 1 oz of fluid left in the bottle.

We get a lot of pine needles and it picks them up with no problem, when they are dry. Does a pretty good job when they are wet but much better when dry.

Yes. It does quite well with pine needles, you just have to play with the height setting a little till you get the right 'bite'.

I have several huge pine trees with the 3-6 inch long needles. It works great on them once you get the hang of setting the height of the brushes. It will pick up pine cones, but sometimes it flips them out in front of the sweeper too. I usually just pick up the cones by hand and throw them in the basket as I walk behind the sweeper. I like my lawn clean and this sweeper is just the ticket for cleaning up after those messy pine trees.

I don't know what a TERVIS straw is, but this brush will fit through a standard size straw. I tried it on a 'hospital bendy' type straw, inch diameter, with the accordion style at the bend, and it worked perfectly The diameter of the brush at the bristles is about &#8540; inch. The bristles flex just enough to allow it to go through the straw, and firm enough to clean inside. If you have a straw with a larger diameter than &#8540; inch, it may not be as effective. I used a postage stamp sized piece of cloth or a piece of cotton to bulk up the brush. (The cloth was better, no cotton to pick out of the bristles) This is a great set of brushes.
